The Bible vs. the Koran


As long as people believe in absurdities, they will commit atrocities. –Voltaire

The Bible vs. the Koran

I can’t say there are no self-contradictions or inconsistencies in the Koran. But, I have to say that the Koran is a lot better than the Bible. In Bible, we have the story of Abraham, whose god told him to sacrifice his son as an act of worship, but told him at the last moment that it was only a test. This story really is very bloody and cruel. The Koran presents the same story in a different way. It says that Abraham, in a dream, saw himself sacrificing his son. In other words, he was probably inspired by Satan to commit the crime of murdering his own son. But, Allah intercepted him at the last moment and told him not to kill his son. It is also unlikely that a god who commands, “Thou shall not kill” would command you to kill your little son.
Unlike the Bible, the Koran doesn’t talk about bloody animal and human sacrifices. It only talks about the relationship of humans with God. 

More about madness in orthodox Christianity

As Voltaire said, since orthodox Christianity is full of absurdities, it is the religion that has committed the largest number of atrocities. Orthodox Christianity has always been and will always be the enemy of science and civilization. It has punished people for saying universal truths like the Earth is round.
Orthodox Christians claim that there is a lot of “proof” that supports their doctrines. That’s nonsense. Their “proofs” are like this-
Someone says that elves exist. You say that they don’t.
He says that the elves cause rain. You don’t reply.
It starts raining. He says, “Look, it is raining. I told you elves exist.”
It is also funny that every Christian sect thinks that their god is on their side. They don’t know that either the Christian god doesn’t exist, or the Bible has wrongly described him. Burning in hell forever just because you didn’t believe in or didn’t hear about Jesus? Such malevolent blasphemy!
In this article, I am going to discuss a lot of important falsehoods in Christianity. Let’s start by taking a look at another list of self-contradictions.
 
Question number 1- Does the Christian god change his mind?
Numbers 23: 19: God is not like men, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind.
Exodus 32: 14: So the Lord changed his mind and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

Question number 2- Is God ready to help us when we are in trouble?
Psalms 46: 1: God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help us in times of trouble.
Psalms 10: 1: Why are you so far away, O Lord? Why do you hide yourself when we are in trouble?

Question number 3- Can rich people become Christians?
Matthew 27: 57: When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea arrived; his name was Joseph, and he also was a disciple of Jesus.
Luke 6: 24: But how terrible for you who are rich now; you have had your easy life!

Question number 4- Is it okay to eat food offered to idols?
Acts 15: 29: Eat no food that has been offered to idols.
1 Corinthians 8: 8: Food, however, will not improve our relations with God; we shall not lose anything if we do not eat, nor shall we gain anything if we do eat.

Question number 5:  For how long were the Hebrews kept in Egypt?
Exodus 12: 41: On the day the 430 years ended, all the tribes of the Lord’s people left Egypt.
Acts 7: 6: This is what God said to Abraham, “Your descendants will live in a foreign country, where they will be slaves and will be badly treated for four hundred years.”

Question number 6: Did Jesus teach violence?
Luke 22: 36: Whoever has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.
Matthew 5: 39: If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too.

Question number 7- Does wisdom make us happy?
Proverbs 3: 13: Happy is the man who becomes wise- who gains understanding.
Ecclesiastes 1: 18: The wiser you are, the more worries you have; the more you know; the more it hurts.

Question number 8- Do other gods exist?
Exodus 18: 11: Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods, because he did this when the Egyptians treated the Israelites with such contempt.
Deuteronomy 4: 39: The Lord is God in heaven and on earth. There is no other god. 

Question number 9- Does Yahweh’s anger last forever?
Psalms 103: 9: He does not keep on rebuking; he is not angry forever.
Jeremiah 17: 4: My anger is like a fire and it will burn forever.

Question number 10- Do the righteous suffer like the wicked?
Ecclesiastes 9: 2: A good man is no better off than a sinner.
Proverbs 12: 21: Nothing bad happens to righteous people, but the wicked have nothing but trouble.

I am sure that if all orthodox Christians read my lists about self-contradictions and inconsistencies in the Bible, many of them will realize how they were blinded by false doctrines and will leave Christianity. But, I don’t want that. Instead of rejecting Christianity, I want them to reject the Bible or at least stop calling the Bible a word of God. The Bible is nothing more than a pathetic attempt of the ancient Jews and Christians to create a book of morality. In today’s world, if anyone tries to justify their actions using the Bible, they are either hypocrites or fools.

The stupid story of creation- Part 2

Genesis 1: 11- 13: Then he commanded, “Let the earth bear produce all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit”- and it was done. So the earth produced all kinds of plants, and God was pleased with what he saw. Evening passed and morning came- that was the third day.
Note that the sun has not been created yet. Only orthodox Christians can understand how the plants survived without the help of a sun. Scientists can’t.

Genesis 1: 14- 19: Then God commanded, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate day from night and to show the time when days, years, and religious festivals begin; they will shine in the sky to give light to the earth”- and it was done. So God made the two larger lights, the sun to rule over the day and the moon to rule over the night; he also made the stars. He placed the lights in the sky to shine on the earth, to rule over the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God was pleased with what he saw. Evening passed and morning came- that was the fourth day.
Ha, ha, ha, ha. So, all the stars exist just in order to provide light for the earth. All I can say is that it would have been more convenient if Yahweh didn’t make them so far away from our planet.

Genesis 1: 21- 23: Then God commanded, “Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings, and let the air be filled with birds.” So God created the great sea-monsters, all kinds of creatures that live in the water, and all kinds of birds. And God was pleased with what he saw. He blessed them all and told the creatures that live in the water to reproduce, and to fill in the sea, and he told the birds to increase in number.  Evening passed and morning came. That was the fifth day.
If he really is so powerful, why did he need to tell the birds and sea animals to reproduce to increase their numbers? He could have created lots of them himself!

Laughing is good for your health. But, sometimes, laughing too much can kill. So, I will have to stop this story here.
Orthodox Christianity has used nothing but cheap lies to spread their madness and false propagandas. So, the best weapon against them is the truth. Truth is also the very weapon orthodox Christians are afraid of. We can reveal the truth to the world and let them die in embarrassment.
Blessed are the merciful.
